I think the Quicksilver is the mirror door G4? If so, we have one of these
as an asset management/music playing machine at work. Despite buying new
reliable RAM and doing a clean system install w/ latest updates, etc +
checking connections, and so on, we continue to suffer kernel panics. A (Mac
specialist) service engineer told us this week that quite a few mirror door
Macs are susceptible to this sort of problem - he mentioned something about
bus speed and data throughput, but unfortunately my mind clouded over at
that point. HTH.

Cheers, Colin.
